So small update. The touch screen finger prints was driving me insane as it with @JamesX50d. Purchased the below from Takealot and was impressed on how it was packaged and more importantly fitment. Finger print marks are almost eliminated unless grubby or really dirty fingers. Very happy with the end product. Also purchased some black ///M valve caps to match my black wheels and keyring/spanner ( knock offs but not bad for R140 ).

Very Very Nice. Your car looks amazing. Send me the link to those items please? I bought mine from the UK but you need to fit it like fitting tinted windows so this one looks much easier.

So did a unplanned trip to Kzn last week Friday at 3am. Bmw nav with RTT alerted me of a serious accident early enough and diverted me (eco route) at Curry Post in Howick over the N3. Took me on a sort of ash gravel road that looked pretty decent. I must say it took me through the midlands meander and boy or boy what a beautiful drive with so many resorts on the way and brought me back on the N3 at Lions River and for the 1st time in my life I had the privilege of being on that stretch all on my own. Not a single vehicle until the next onramp.

Reached our destination and jumped off to see this

Felt like cement so as much as the weather was kak i went in search of a carwash.

Returned yesterday and roadworks and a accident near Camperdown had me going off road again. Car wash this morning but signs of the KZN trip still had its mark on the car. The double slate grills looks great but a pain to get really clean more so as the fins behind it are automatic so stay closed and holds dirt. Long story short i managed to easily remove the grills and clean , then the exhaust tips which had gone black with the weather i assume. Some elbow grease and was a rewarding day. Pics below

Great choice with some tasteful options - We call that the M sport Pro pack - larger wheels / M performance Estoril blue brake calipres and H K sound .
Bespoke comfort seats with the diamond pattern trim and in Merino - big bonus - I’m a fan - Congrats 👍🏾
